lol, taking minutes away from Vonleh and Biebs is PRECISELY the point of getting a PF.

Nope. Not when you're rebuilding

 

[Natebishop3]

Mike Barrett would immediately pronounce that as the best trade by any team at the deadline and that "you just can't measure what a Steve Blake brings to your franchise."

He brings increases the "Hot Wife" ratio by a factor of 10!

Surprised DMo had first round pick value given that he's been hurt all year.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

the deadline is noon PST yeah?

Surprised DMo had first round pick value given that he's been hurt all year.

Maybe it was Marcus Thornton with the perceived value

Houston seems to be wanting to clear some cap space. Why else dump those guys?

 

[Draco]

Don't see it; Miami looks to be dipping below repeater luxury tax and they don't have the room for Hendo.

 

[craigehlo]

What would we want from the Heat for Hendo? Picks?

 

[Natebishop3]

So are the Rockets blowing it up?

It is a protected pick, just not sure how protected yet.

 

[illmatic99]

Perhaps. But both are free agents this summer, and only DMo is restricted. Gamble for DET though depending on the protection on the pick.

 

[Draco]

Yeah unless its heavy protection on that pick really surprises me. He's injured and will be a free agent in a few months.

 

[illmatic99]

Don't see it; Miami looks to be dipping below repeater luxury tax and they don't have the room for Hendo.

Especially given that we want no part of McBob's contract.

Whiteside rental? Maybe.

 

[craigehlo]

So are the Rockets blowing it up?

They didn't want to pay Motiejunas this summer. He's a solid player, but likely some team will throw a dumb contract at him.

 

[craigehlo]

Whiteside rental? Maybe.

He won't resign here, but it would be the rest of this season damn interesting.

 

[BrianFromWA]

yeah, earlier tweets were saying it was D-Mo for Anthony....Thornton and the 1st got added later.

 

[Draco]

 

[illmatic99]

Wow, only top 8 protected.

HOU makes out like bandits in this. A low lottery pick for a RFA who has back issues and a Jodie Meeks clone?

SVG seems hellbent on making the playoffs

 

[TBpup]

Reported as Top 8 protected.

 

[Draco]

Shocked its only top8 protected; bad trade by Detroit.

You think he would target a healthy player then? Very perplexing.

 

[Scalma]

Man I would've given up Leonard for that b

 

[craigehlo]

SVG seems hellbent on making the playoffs

They have all the pieces to challenge for home court in the 1st round. Aside from the Cavs and Raps, the East is wide open.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Zach Lowe tweeting the DET pick is top-8 protected. kind of a steal, off the top of my head...

 

[TBpup]

Shocked its only top8 protected; bad trade by Detroit.

If that garbage gets a Top-8 protected pick, how can we not get something like that for Henderson? That is disappointing....

 

[illmatic99]

Not gonna lie, I'd kill for a return like what HOU just got for Meyers.
